Compass of Our Destiny

On the road to your gypsy soul

in the vastness of my world

chasing heartbeats and fireflies

  across wooden covered bridges 

navigating deep and arid canyons

 beneath a sweltering summer sun.

I'll trace the compass of our destiny

 leading me to a foreign land

I'll find you roaming in flowering fields of daisies

where I will finally take your hand

I'll be in awe of your effervescent half-moon

glowing brightly in the night

I'll gaze longingly at your thousand stars

shining downward ever bright

I'll feel the breeze that you feel

blowing softly over the cobalt sea

together we'll be one with nature

setting all our spirits free

Not surrendering to temptation

because you are everything I need

I'll listen to your heart beat

for on your love I soon will feed

Much of this reminds me of the terrible German plane crash. If you get a chance read and comment regarding my poem about it. Jim Horn http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/soon_to_be_poem_of_the_day_657237

Fantastic!!These lines are definitely a confirmation of love and loyalty to a soul who like a gypsy keeps searching for fulfillment.'Not surrendering to temptation because you are everything I need'. To need no other and fall for no other just because we`re so in love.That part of the poem creates many sweet emotions..and the other verses ~Extremely romantic~ A fav Charma
